Its toooo cold down here at the moment - overnight lows of 10 degrees and a screaming SW are doing us no favours. On Sunday I surfed in boardies - I think when I next hit the water I will be pulling out the big guns of rubber to get me through. I can not believe how fast we have gone from an Indian Summer to the middle of winter. Essentially overnight. Today I am wearing jeans, socks, shoes, long sleeve shirt and a jacket........ahhhhhhhhhh Goodness knows how those Victorians and the Gizzie boys get through winter. I have had enough - bring back summer!

yes the water is still warm the cold SW will knock the top off anyone I reckon! We have gone from 32 to 10 in 24 hrs - thats a big move in a short space of time. Yes I am getting old and soft but jeepers 22 is a lot!

Ha Ha must admitt been wearing the 4x3 need to cover the head with my hair cut

As long as the water is still fairly warm its ok. i hate freezing cold water though. Once my toes go numb its time to get out.

Only good thing is the cold change usually means ground swell

Yep - we are entering prime time for some east coast lows now with the SST at 6 degree's warmer than the land. Bring it on I say!!!

Autum into early winter is the best time to be on the mid north coast I say!
